So the battery is obviously simply knackered (where have I heard...

    Flat Battery

    Battery is 3 years old. I accept that it 'could' be the battery, but as I am as tight as a duck's posterior, I am allergic to spending arounf £50 for a new one if its summat as simple as a loose or wet wire somewhere. But, yeh, it could be the battery.
